I look for roles that show women as independent, informed, and free to make their own decisions.

Why do a crappy film role when you can do a meaty stage role? and ...I'm not small and curvy and I don't fit the prerequiste for small, passive, sexy chicks.

Even from a very early age, I knew I didn't want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous.

I credit literature for the reason I act because that was the door to me saying, ‘Oh! I can be somebody else. I can exist as someone else.’

If you're intuitive and you have a desire for people to be happy and you want equilibrium and you want life to be good, then you'll worry. But we need to embrace the idea that, "No, I'm putting that aside, over there, in a box. I'll open that box when I wake up in the morning and deal with it then." I really find that men tend to do that, and it's great to be able to do.

Divorce is divorce and it's a really tough thing to go through, (But) I'd love to get married again.

I have a passion for my work, and that can seep into you. It's almost as if you're drawn to it.
